Not sure if it's a firewall issue, specs issue, or something more...
Hiya Folks
I recently bought a new Acer PC running Windows 7 x64. Here's the issue. I can run games locally, and on my local wireless LAN. But when I try to run games online (like via Steam, or Everquest, etc) I can't connect. I have been running through all possibilities such as compatability, specs, etc, but my machine beats all the min specs for the games, and I can't see any problems with the compatability either. I can't work it out at all. I have tried turning the firewall off, making the rules allow all connections, and nothing works.
I am really hacked off about this as I have contacted Steam, Acer, Microsoft, and each one says update drivers and check again (the old pass off move). I'm new to Windows 7 but not to PC's and have tried everything I can think of and this is my last shot before I chuck this thing out the window
The txt file is a complete list of my pc specs for info :)
Many thanks in advance
